Ms Ganambarr, who had more than 10 years experience as a ranger, was collecting mussels in a billabong with her family when she was taken.

She had not been working at the time.

In the wake of the attack and leading up to a memorial to celebrate the life of Ms Ganambarr, community leaders have reportedly been discussing whether "another type of response" may be needed to deal with crocodile management in the region.

Yirralka Ranger Manager Dave Preece said there were "sensitivities" surrounding saltwater croc management in the culturally strong East Arnhem region, due to the animal's totemic significance.

"They're a very important animal for Yolngu, and there are sensitivities around the management of them, and it needs to be done in the right way," Mr Preece said.

"Even after our tragic event, it still needs to be done in the right way, and the right leaders in the communities are talking about whether another type of response needs to happen following that [attack].

"But they're very realistic and respectful about that happening in the right way."
